The Results Are In!
We’ve found that students only engage with
products that count for 20% or more of their
grade.
This fall we conducted a survey of
~500 courses using our digital products
and found that faculty who assigned a
greater percentage of their course
grade to their digital solution, felt their
students’ performance improved.

This document discusses different approaches to taking classroom training online, including flipped classroom, virtual classroom, MOOCs/videos, and e-learning. It recommends a blended pedagogy approach that leverages the benefits of different methods. Specifically, it recommends foundational training using videos and modules, followed by virtual training for reinforcement and deeper learning. Some instructor-led training and activities/scenarios are also recommended, along with continuous mentorship. The goal is to harness the synergy between synchronous and asynchronous learning across online and offline settings. It provides details on executing this approach, from analysis and design to development, implementation, and ongoing management.

Should i use camtasia studio or camtasia relay ppt

Anna Bohlinger

Camtasia Studio and Camtasia Relay both allow for video recording and production, but have different strengths depending on needs. Camtasia Relay is best for quick in-class recordings as it requires less setup and automatically uploads to servers, while Camtasia Studio provides more production options but requires more planning and manual uploading, making it better for out of class recordings. The document compares the two products and provides resources for learning more.

This document summarizes a presentation on teaching math courses online. It discusses challenges in online course design, such as mimicking face-to-face interactions and managing workload. Several approaches are described for structuring an online math class, including introducing concepts through videos, assigning book problems, conducting group work, and giving quizzes and tests through an online system. Both successes and challenges are noted, such as students interacting but workload being large. Suggested changes for the next time include adding synchronous components, reworking discussions, and better use of learning management features.

Making Faculty Training More Agile with Blackboard Badges

Kaitlin Walsh

As colleges increase their online course offerings, so does the need to train faculty to transition to the online format. Also, with a number of these online courses being taught by adjuncts who work full time or teach elsewhere, perhaps the biggest challenge is finding the time to complete the training. How do we cover the points they need to know in the little time they have? And how do we make the training relevant or meaningful to those who have had previous training elsewhere? At American International College, we sought to address these challenges by using a competency-based badge system to support our training program for faculty teaching online. Faculty complete tasks to demonstrate their mastery of Blackboard skills, online pedagogy and AIC policies and procedures, with each set of tasks leading to a badge. Faculty who already have experience in these areas can demonstrate their competencies in alternate methods to earn their badges. This presentation will provide an overview of AIC’s redeveloped training program for faculty teaching online. We will address considerations of structure and implementation, as well as the benefits for full- and part-time faculty.

How does this drive critical thinking? Should we measure learning based on the application of existing knowledge, or the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge?

Decolonizing Universal Design for Learning

Frederic Fovet

UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction. This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
